We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were helpful and friendly and ready to converse freely. Had we known before that The Bell allows dog to stay, we would have brought our dog. On the whole we would happily recommend The Bell to friends and family

Great host

My husband and I visited for 2 nights for our wedding anniversary, we enjoyed it that much we decided to stay on an extra night. Chantel the host was absolutely amazing and genuinely a very nice lady, her breakfasts are excellent. Lovely place very convenient to other areas of the Cotswolds and for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we’ll be able to visit again in the future.

Nice Cotswold's stay

Nice superior double room, bed was very comfortable, a bit noisy as the room was situated above the bar. If we stayed again I would book a standard room in the adjacent building. Very accommodating as the pub wasn't serving food on a Sunday evening but the chef kindly catered for us. Breakfast was nice, pre ordered the night before due to covid policy.

Lovely place for the Cotswolds

The Inn was beautiful and amazing. Despite being opened just after lockdown, the staff did everything possible to make the stay really welcoming. WiFi was patchy but when I flagged it, staff sorted it straightaway. It was a lovely place to stay in the Cotswolds and very reasonably priced.

Does what it says on the tin

Old friends meet up

I had stayed in the Bell years ago on business and had always wanted to return with my wife. Sadly it was the funeral of an old friend that caused this to happen but it meant that we were able to meet up again with old friends that we hadn’t seen in a while. The location and service we received all contributed to a very enjoyable experience given the circumstances

Room position was really quiet. Breakfast items - bacon/sausage was tough and chewy to eat. Tasted like items had been cooked previously and heated up. The next day i went for eggs/beans on toast - it smelt odd so didnt eat it. No general information in the room. Sparce tea/coffee items available.
